How are wild blueberries different from cultivated?
(NC)—Wild blueberries are distinct from their cultivated cousins in several significant ways. Unlike cultivated (highbush), wild (lowbush) blueberries are not planted. They are spread primarily by rhizomes or underground runners, which form shoots and stems. Wild blueberry fields contain many different varieties accounting for the variations in size and color that characterize the crop. Farmers use many modern crop management techniques to carefully tend their fields and encourage growth. By nature, the berries have a wild mystique all their own and one of only three berries native to North America, they have an appealing wild image that distinguishes them from all others.
